Humans with the high capacities of creativity and emotion will outperform AI

Graduate education needs to teach the competencies people will need to be, “anti-professionals” HE consultant (and CMM partner) David Wright argues in this morning’s issue.

“Students need to acquire a core set of personal competencies, such as design thinking, problem solving, communication skills, project management, and priority and goal setting.

“These kinds of personal skills are career agnostic – they are valuable in every profession, and as such will be valuable in every new profession,” he suggests.
It is an intensely optimistic argument, that people comfortable outside their occupational skill-set can take-on challenges yet to emerge – and they can work with, not for or against AI.

“A person with creativity and emotion working with an Artificial Intelligence creates an extremely powerful combination,” Mr Wright argues.
